Just after Irma, DKF submitted a request for support to 'SamenwerkendeFondsen' for US€ 18,000 to renovate two classrooms which were heavily damaged under Irma. It turned out that the funds were insufficient. An incomplete facility was the result. The CSO submitted under R4CR a proposal to finalize the two classrooms. The PIU called in the expertise of an independent construction expert who prepared a more accurate budget for renovating and finalizing the two classrooms. Additional resources have been approved to finance logistical equipment for these two classrooms in order to make them operational.
Discovery Kidz isactive as a playschool/day care organization and works with children, parents, families and the community they are part of.
